of Grimaldi Curse
Told bv Medford Woman
Story
Once a Calavo avocado has
softened enough for eating, plan
on using it as soon as possible.
Meanwhile store in the refrig
erator to retard further softening.
By MARGARET SCHULER
By the time this reaches Med
ford, "the wedding" of the mid-
twentieth century, with its fan
fare and flourish, will be over.
Perhaps too many stories have
been written about it all, but.
if this one, about the curse of
the Grimaldis, hasn't reached
the states, it might be interest
ing. The real Monagesques the
cabbies, who park their horses
and fiacres on the boulevards,
the women in the market, the
fisherman about 2,000 of the
20,000 permanent residents of
Monaco are concerned, as sub
jects of the Prince (not paying
taxes, nr doing military service)
that they will lose these priv
ileges if their ruler does not
have an heir. Monaco will revert
to France, according to an agree
ment, if there is no male succes
sor. And they fear the curse.
There is an old legend, dating
from the 14th century, which
says that a Flemish wench, in
love with an ancestor of Prince
Rainier, was jilted, and evoked
a curse upon him and his line.
"No spouse of a Grimaldi shall
ever have happiness in marri
age. ' And for 600 years, marri
ages of the family have failed.
This princes' marriage ended
in disaster. If, however, they
say, the blood mother, being
of another strain, makes this
Prince not a pure Grimaldi, it
may counteract the evil of the
curse.
Marries Laundress
And the Monegesque know
this story also. The grandfather
of Rainier III fell in love with
and eventually married a little
French laundress. When he be
came ruler, however, he had
the marriage annulled but adopt
ed his daughter, Charlotte. When
she was 22 years old, he mar
ried her to the heir of an old
French family, Count de Palig-
noc. Prince Rainier is the son
of that marriage, which also
was dissolved, and the count,
being the guilty one, was ban
ished forever from the princi
pality. The child was reared in
England, but during the war
joined the French army and
won the Croix de Guerre for
bravery. In 1949, when his
grandfather Louis II, died, he
ascended the throne. (One of his
first edicts was to rescind the
b;nishment of his father, who
now is with him much of the
time.) His mother, Charlotte,
lives in France. And so the
people feel that if this marriage
is successful it will be because
of the mother's strain.
As the Prince is a devout
Catholic, and sincerely interest
ed in his tiny nation, he is quot
ed as saying that he has put his
faith in God's hands, and be
lieves his marriage will be bless
ed, and that "la malediction des
Grimaldi" will have to come to
an end.
Residents Rub Eyes
According to first-hand re
ports, I understand the great
contingent of American tourists
which followed Miss Kelly to
Monte Carlo made the Monte
Carlo residents rub their eyes.
Accustomed as they are to con
servative English tweeds, and
Paris fashions, they do a bit of
eyebrow-raising at beach pa
jamas, shorts and snazzy slacks.
It is said that even Miss Kelly's
sister came in for a share of
comment She went through the
lobby of the Hotel de Paris bare
legged and in black satin shorts.
Her husband wears a bright
orange open shirt.
Amusing gossip was spread
conjectures and surmises. Will
this influx of Americans affect
roulette will they demand "les
dice" instead. Monsier Ceresal,
commisaire special that it
would, and made a study of the
game even went to the states
to find out what be the pitfalls
and tricks in the playing. He
coached the croupiers how to
handle situations. As he thought
it as good a game as the ancient
roulette, probably craps will be
come popular. Three Americans
are alleged to have bought prop
erty for new casinos.
While 1 was at the Hotel Me-
tropole, there often came an old
Greek and wo young men, ad
visors or friends, with him. I
knew his name was Onassis, that
his yacht was the biggest in the
harbor, and that he entertained
such personages as Greta Garbo,
but it wasn't until today that I
learned he owns two-thirds of
the Casino, and part of several
of the big hotels in Monte Carlo.
This Mr. Onassis, also a shipping
magnate, said he would like to
stop the gambling at the Casino,
and make it into a church. He is
quoted as saying, "They object

High school April 20.
Silver rose corsages were pin
ned on the guests when they en
tered the school.
Receiving were the officers,
the Misses Maudalene Marshall,
Rose Murray, Joann Schulz,
Joyce Zickeffose, and Miss Ina
Freeman, dean of girls.

here, but I am serious. I would
like to go to the Vatican, and of
fer the Casino to be made into a
church called 'The Magdalene
of Monaco.' I don't like to take
money from poor people, and I
could find work for the 750 per
sons the Casino supports."
As a wedding gift, Prince
Rainie- requested of Mr. Onas
sis that he stop the shooting of
pigeons at the Casino an old
European pastime. In front and
two terraces down, facing the
water, one may hear the pop
pop of guns, and see the pigeons
fall on the green grass. And On
assis granted the request.
Jewels Are Gifts
People are funny. He then
told a reporter that he had al
ready given Miss Kelly a dia
mond bracelet, and his company
had given her a ruby and dia
mond tiara.
Queer, to me, too is Father
Tucker's frankness in telling his
church congregation about the
affair the Prince had had with a
French actress, and with tears
running down his cheeks, telling
them that they should appre
ciate the Prince's giving her up
as unsuitable for a wife.
Father Tucker changed his
sermon on Sunday "because of
special circumstances this
week," and instead he read of
the feast to which Jesus and
Mary went where the wine ran
out. "There is not much chance
of the wine running out here."
Of Miss Kelly he said, "She is
a very sweet girl!" Of the prince
he said, "He .is a very fine boy
to whom I've dedicated the best
years of my life."
Sunday, April 29, 1958
Miss Peggy Davis poured coffee
while Miss Julie Hanson and
Miss Jean Sweet presided at the
punch bowl.
